Title: For Sale: Roof Box
Post by: tunnie on 03 March 2018, 15:02:38
Need to have bit of a garage clearcut, I have in the garage loft an un-used Karrite Odyssey 360L roof box.

Looks like this:

£60 to anyone?

Rather not have faff of posting, could meet halfway within a reasonable distance of Camberley. Can also bring to Osterley area of London.

Nowt to do with me .. but if you wait a couple of months to late spring/early summer you'll get a lot more on a certain auction site ... from experience these things peak in price when folks suddenly think about summer holidays, then plummet in the autumn !!! I got both a box and the roof bars VERY cheaply by buying in October several years back .. :)

Nige, a really stupid question - how would you fix a box/bars to the roof of an Omega saloon: there aren't any gutters like the older cars?

There are ;) Estates too, although these mostly have roof rails...

The feet slot into the gutter and the clamp sits between the door and the gutter :y

Was that the same size I had?

Almost tempted myself, but not sure I'd ever use it now, as when we take the old foggies away now we use the battlebus, and the next euro trip is likely to be the Jaaaagggg

Or you could put it up in the roof of your folks garage, for that day when you try to tempt the missus and the saucepan kids on a glamping expedition....

Yes same size as yours  :y

@Entwood. Yes I could wait, just in that spring clean out mind  :)

Doubt we would ever use it now, Christmas just gone the Zafira hauled an impressive load of stuff. Doing Ireland next year, but even then we won’t need it.

I guess it depends if you'll always hotel/cottage (ooo-err missus), or ever camp.  I have to have the Zaffy's seats as forward as they will go to get all our glamping stuff in, which would be an issue for you, as there is more of you.

But then Mrs TB does believe in comfort ;D (but does like camping).
